Hi;
I apologise if this is posted elsewhere but, Just about to start the installation of a CrankShaft in an Engine Build and wondered what was the correct way to Torque up bolts.
I have seen various methods, but just watching the Bill Sollis Ultimate Mini Engine DVD and when he installs the Pistons he Torques up the Big End Caps, undoes them and Re Torques them, he does this three times?
I have already had the Big Ends on and Off numerous times doing the Trial Build Etc and need to do it one more time to check bearing clearances with Plasti Gauge.
Incidentally als what is the best method of checking a Torque Wrench, mine is about 4 years old and I'd like to know its spot on before I use it for this Engine Build?
